BALI SURF CAMP SEMINYAK

28° water temperature – more than 60 surf spots – 365 days’ swell

Discovering the island with its many surf spots and numerous other attractions is at the heart of our Kima Surf Camp. Mobility is very important to us. We organise up to 12 “guided tours” to the various surf spots every day (Mon. – Fri.). This way we make sure that every surfer (beginners, intermediates or advanced surfers) is on the right wave at the right time. Accompanied by our guides by car and boat, you'll be able to discover the perfect waves all around this more than divine island. 

The Kima Bali Surf Camp Seminyak is about 3 km north of the heaving tourist stronghold, Kuta at the quieter spot of Seminyak. A distance that means you can choose between a chill-out evening at the Surf Camp or a hot night clubbing in Kuta.

The six wonderful kilometres of Kuta Beach are only a few minutes' walk from 

the camp and this offers you the legendary beach breaks, such as HalfWay, Padma or KuDeTa. These breaks are ideal for beginners and are an ideal counter-piece to the daily Surfaris with our camp cars 

However, if you prefer to be out and about on your own, you’re free to use our jeeps and mountain bikes – just check with us. 

Kima Bali Surf Camp’s big plus is that surf guiding is inclusive! 

Monday to Friday we organise up to twelve trips for all surf levels to various breaks all round Bali. What this means is that you can take part in at least two and a maximum of three guided session per day. At the weekend diversified Beach Day Trips  are lined up for you or you can join one of the Culture and Sport Trips organised by Kima Bali Surf Camps.

The surf spots we head for are graded according to the various surf levels and selected depending on the tide, swell and wind conditions. Our surf guides are all trained in life-saving, they’re familiar with the island, drive safely and can give you competent briefing on the spot. Here they’ll point out the characteristics of reef surfing or any potential hazards. The guides always surf with you in the water, giving you tips and showing you tricks. Twice a week the sessions are filmed so that the analysis afterwards can help you identify the mistakes you’re making and sort these out. You can also take part in twice-weekly theory lessons on material maintenance, wave know-how and surf rules. 

Our guided tours are always adapted to the given conditions,  this means that depending on the swell the odd secret spot might come to light. On the other hand, you might, even as an advanced beginner, be able to ride a reef break and then boast at the end of your holiday that you mastered Uluwatu :-). With our years of experience you’ll always be at the right spot at the right time!

Beginners
For beginners the many beach breaks on our doorstep (e.g. HalfWay, Padma, KuDeTa, DoubleSix) are ideal for surfing your first green wave and improving your take-off. These spots are considered world-class beach breaks and even experienced surfers can get a perfect ride here.

Intermediates
For intermediate surfers Bali has a whole series of soft reef breaks and semi-beach breaks in store. Many perfect waves at long point breaks will push your skills and maybe even make you an advanced surfer by the end of your stay.

Breakfast included 
To get you off to a good start in the morning, breakfast includes tea or coffee, jaffles and fruit salad, or nasi/mie goreng, toast with eggs and fruit juice. 

Drinks & Dinner (HB)
Since we're on the move for the most part of the day we decided not to offer full board or an all-inclusive service. Our half board (HB) – Drinks & Dinner  - comprises a two-course meal with two soft drinks. The menu is extremely varied  - a combination of western-international and Indonesian food.. 

Indo food 
The cost of living on Bali is extremely low. A healthy and filling meal (e.g. fish including a side dish) will cost around 2 € !! There are lots of local cuisine restaurants near the hotel.  The obligatory evening beer on the beach is likely to be the most expensive thing on the menu of healthy indo food. Fruit salads or nasi or mie goring can be had for 1 € even on the most remote beaches. 

Western food 
In Seminyak there are plenty of restaurants which cater for the western palate. You'll find all sorts of food: German, Persian, Italian, Japanese, Greek, or Brazilian, plus of course international fast food chains.

Discovering Bali 

The major concept of the Kima Bali Surf Camp is to get to know what's near and far in Bali. Whether shorebreak in Dreamland, reef of Bingin or Kuta´s beach 

breaks: our long-term experience of Bali promises to take you to the best waves all around the island. Depending on the day's conditions, what the participants want to 

do and their surfing level, our guests take off in small groups by car or boat over and around the island . This way you can take part in at least 10 surf sessions at the various spots in any one week. 

Here on the island you don’t have to miss out on culture and other activities.  Hindu Bali offers not only endless temples, royal palaces and rice terraces in the island’s interior, the coastal towns have loads of opportunities for shopping, dining and hanging out with the right people.

For the sports fans there is a wide spectrum: diving, wake/kiteboarding,stand-up paddling, volcano trekking, rafting, mountain biking or tree top climbing.

Our material pool has been put together to suit the conditions we have here: shortboards (6'0'' - 7'0''), funshapes and mini-malibus (7'0'' - 7'8'') for our beginners. We have a board for every level and all conditions.  If you don't mind the haul, feel free to bring your own equipment or favourite board with you, so you can put them to the ultimate test here. Board shorts, leashes, booties, foot pads and wax can be had here at reasonable prices – with a special Kima discount. We are also pleased to kit you out with custom boards.

Leashes and lycras are included in the rental, however, possible repairs have to paid for. If you want to be on the safe side as far as ding repair is concerned you can “insure” your rental board for 25 €. That means that we will carry the costs for any repairs over a period of 1 – 3 weeks, whether it’s a tiny dent or a major break. Any damage will of course be immediately and professionally repaired. If the board or parts of it get lost - for instance gone forever sailing over the wide, wide sea – the costs have to be borne by the user.
